Pull the weights up so that your arms form right angles. Stand on your right leg as you lift your left leg up with a flexed toe. Engage your abdominals to help you stay balanced. Slowly swing your arms and left leg back, really squeezing in your buns and the backs of your arms. Repeat this exercise, keeping your torso lifted, abs tight, and spine long. You’ll really feel the burn in your triceps, legs, and buns with this great workout. Join Chris and burn more calories with the entire High Metabolism Workout video series.
